Chat-specific keyboard error: double first letter

Platform: Win7 64-bit
ISP: TimeWarner Cable
Type of Internet Connection: cable
Date & Time: 29 Aug 2011 (and earlier)
Frequency: almost always
Character Name: Janga Maky
Race: Miqo'te
World: Saronia
Class/Skill Rank: all classes
Physical Level: 50
Party or Solo: both
Steps:

1. Use the Configuration tool to set chat-specific keyboard.
2. With the chat window not selected, start typing (happens with /s, /l, /p, and probably /sh) -- about 60-80% of the time the first letter (only) will duplicate. For example, typing "Hello!" will give: "HHello!"

The only time I get letter duplication is for the first letter I type using chat-specific keyboard, so it's not a problem with my keyboard.

Greetings VisionHolder!

The thread has been moved from In-Game Bugs to Technical Support. The double letter may be caused by a minor technical issue which they may be able to help with. Thank you for posting and I hope all goes well soon enough!

So... any suggestions on how to fix this since it apparently isn't a bug?

Does this only happen with ffxiv? You using any special kind of keyboard(non-english)? Does it happen when you plug in a different keyboard?

It's just a regular, English keyboard from Dell. It's USB-based. The only game I play is FFXIV, and there's not letter duplication outside of the game. I don't have a second keyboard to test. Hope that helps...

i have the same issue

This is not a technical issue. It has been reported in the bug forms before, and commented on by the dev team as something they are aware of and working to fix. Obviously they have not tracked down the problem yet.

I have experienced this problem as well.
